WINTER SPECTRUM USER FEES October 12, 2004 - GOLF COURSE TRENDS AND PROPOSED FEE STRUCTURE

BACKGROUND

On August 3,2004, Council approved user fees for recreational programs and services that were to be published in the Fallwinter edition of the Spectrum Recreational Activities catalogue. Because the release date of the catalogue was well in advance of the budget presentation, it was necessary to obtain Council approval at that time. Staff presented Council only with fees that were to be published in the FallNVinter catalogue, noting that the remainder of the fees would be presented through the normal budget process. Council’s recent decision to revise the budget timetable has resulted in the need to request advance approval of fees that will be published in the Spring/Summer edition of the Spectrum catalogue and the balance of rental and miscellaneous user fees scheduled to be implemented January 1, 2005. This will allow full realization of our 2005 revenue targets. The 2005 Recreation and Neighbourhood Services User Fee Detail Report is attached as ‘Appendix A’.

In meeting the Corporation’s budget target for 2005, Recreation and Neighbourhood Services is recommending a number of fee increases which have been developed to offset the increases in expenditures associated with the delivery of recreation services to our community. In accordance with the Ontario Municipal Act, Council approval of these fees is necessary in prior to implementation. It should be noted that fees can be changed at any time at council’s discretion.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

User fees are re-assessed each year in preparation for the annual budget. A number of factors are considered in proposing any user fee increases including: incremental operating cost increases, market analysis of other similar programs, capital developments, the target market for the program, and general affordability. In preparing the 2005 winter spectrum fees, staff applied a general principle of a 2.5 -3% increase to existing fees to address inflationary impacts. In a number of areas where there were additional operating cost impacts (e.g. utilities, minimum wage increase, supplies, .

It should also be noted that the Recreation Subsidy Fund continues to support full access to recreation programs for low income individuals .and families. This, combined with a number of low cost or no cost opportunities for participation, ensures access to a variety of services and programs for all Londoners.
